These cells are 2000mah - 20a continuous discharge. So should be decent for an eboard, and the price is also good if I can find a way to utilise the BMS and charger when i change it to 10s2p.
The chainsaw is from a hardware store called Masters (in Australia) who is going out of business and this Kobalt brand of 80v products is being heavily discounted. I picked up the chainsaw with 80v battery and charger for $235 ($175US) and you can get the batteries seperate for $95 ($71usd). Works out to $3.55US a cell.
My other thought is to cannibalize the whole thing and make an 80v board with about 5km range.
Yeah I’m just about to take the chainsaw apart to see what motor I have to deal with. I did have the idea to use the chain but I don’t think the blades are a good idea so close to my feet.
Its chunky to say the least. Measuring just the can its about 50mm, the rubber before the gearbox is a cooling fan, the housing around the phase wires is plastic and adds another 20mm. Im estimating the can around 70mm diameter.
